Every February, the UK comes together to celebrate LGBT+ History Month, a time dedicated to honouring the past, present, and future of LGBT+ individuals. This year, we focus on Activism and Social Change, recognising the tireless efforts of LGBT+ activists who have fought for equality and justice.
Reading List and Book Display
Our librarians have curated a special LGBT+ History Month reading list, featuring diverse books highlighting the history and impact of LGBT+ activism. These books showcase the struggles and triumphs of activists who have paved the way for social change. You can explore more titles through LibrarySearch, and we welcome your suggestions for additional books to include in our collection.
